Do you want to immerse yourself in the world of microservices? Building Microservices with Node.js will guide you through migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices. With this book, you’ll acquire a deep understanding of microservices architecture and apply it confidently in your web application projects.
As you progress, you’ll be guided through the process of creating a simple application and incorporating the Node.js framework into it, along with its commonly used libraries. You’ll learn how the framework operates, how to configure it, and how to develop handlers for the web framework. Furthermore, you’ll explore how to deploy your application to a production server while going through the intricacies of JavaScript and Node.js. Later chapters will show you how to approach microservices in Node.js, implement them effectively, and integrate RESTful APIs. Additionally, you’ll gain insights into service-to-service authentication and authorization and learn how to work with databases and caching. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the topic, you’ll get to grips with monitoring and logging in microservices with Node.js.
By the end of this microservices book, you’ll be able to develop a web app using the Node.js framework, configure it, extend it using libraries available for this framework, and launch it using best practices.
